New Logitech keyboard for Macs promises perfect stroke
(Credit: Logitech)Logitech just announced a new Mac version of its popular diNovo Keyboard, and we're eager to get our grubby little hands on a test unit. We've tried out the diNovo Edge, the diNovo Edge for Macs, and the Illuminated Keyboard with positive marks across the board, and we're sure this version will be no different.
The new diNovo keyboard promises to be the perfect companion to your Mac desktop, with all the buttons in the familiar Mac-style layout in a slim, easy-to-use layout. The keys themselves are part of Logitech's PerfectStroke system that allows for uniform tactile feedback across the entire surface of the key, making for a pretty comfortable typing experience.
In addition, this is a 2.4GHz wireless system that Logitech claims will last three years before you'll need to change batteries. And of course, the keyboard has an integrated wrist wrest that we all need to keep arthritis at bay. The Logitech diNovo Keyboard Mac Edition is available now for $99.99. Look for a full review from CNET coming soon.

2.4 GHz wireless -- why not Bluetooth?? Bluetooth is built in. If it is a 2.4 GHz, then it uses up a port and has extra junk.
photo shows no trackpad, so design is for a mouse user. But, like all too many keyboards the junk to the right of the main keyboard (cursor keys and numeric pad) puts a right-hand mouse way out to the side -- an ergonomic no-no.
